Would you like to be able to use your Google/Yahoo/MSN (OpenID) login on gimpusers, too?

Definately! I would enjoy the possibility to use my OpenID on different websites!

I don't have a special need for OpenID but I think it could be useful

Doesn't matter to me

Never, OpenID is a pain regarding privacy and personal data protection!

No. (please post a comment)

GIMP development now using Git instead of SVN

In the course of the migration of alle Gnome projects from SVN to Git, a decentralised version control system, GIMP has moved too. The developers use Git since last Friday.

The most current BABL/GEGL/GIMP version ("master" branch) can be fetched using these commands:
git clone git://git.gnome.org/babl
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gegl
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gimp

There's also a Web interface that shows all changes and patches: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gimp/

Possibly interesting forum threads:
  1. GIMP & git - example workflows from some of our longer-term git users?
  2. GIMP development is now in GIT?
  3. help with git

    sounds pretty good but i don't understand why they switched to git, since they have migrated to svn from cvs not long ago... nevertheless - git is gnomes versioning system - so its legitime in my opinion
